(By Associated Press.)
San Antonio, Tex., July 18.?Noth
ing short' of absolute unconditional
surrender of the federal government
will be accepted by the Mexican con
stitutionalists, according to Roberto V.
Pesquelra, recently confidential agent
of Ganeral Carranza in Washington,
who reached San Antonio, today en
route to Carranza's headquarters via
El Paso.
"Carbajal Is not a neutral," said Mr.
Pesqulora. "He 1b a strong Huertista
and his selection by Huerta as presi
dent ad interim was in pursuance of a
plan of the Huertista cientlflco com
missions to attempt to extort some
sort of a favorable compromise from
the constitutionalists. He was put in
as part of Huerta's plan to secure for
himself and his friends all the favors
possible, but they will be fruitless.".
Virtually a Trace.
Washington, July 18.?There has
been no formal agreement between the
opposing Mexican factions, but an ar
mistice virtually ht In effect through
out the republic.
Francisco Carabajal, provisionl
president, has decided to evacute
points seriously menaced by constitu
tionalist, forces and avoid further
fighting. General Carranza's forces
are moving southward merely to be
in position to maintain order in the
territory Immediately surrounding the
federal capital. This information
reached officials here today from va
rious points in Mexico. I
Jose CasteUot, of Mexico, personal
representative 'of Carbafcft, spoke 4^flb~
:?>y.V?f.t^'eVef^^aUo1afOf. San Luis;Po
tosi by federal forces as a manifesta
tion of the faith of the Carbajal gov
ernment toward the constitutionalists
and its desire to bring about peace
without further bloodshed.
Until the commission appointed by
Carbajal reaches General Carranza,
which Is expected to be Monday or
Tuesday, no definite developments
relating to a further change of gov
ernment at Mexico City is looked for.
Reports fcom Vera Cruz which said
the Zapata forces were close enough
to Mexico City to occupy It if. they de
sired were borne out by the official
advices.. Lately, however, there has
been an understanding between the
constitutionalists and Zapatas relat
ing to military forces and no move is
expected, unies it be sanctioned by

Question, Felt Himseli

?Norwood Latei
(Special to The Intelligencer)
Greenville, July 18.?Probably the
bitterest display of partisan feeling
exhibited in South Carolina since the
nineties marked the senatorial cam
paign meeting hero today. A small
riot which occurred when Gov. Cole L..
Blease was speaking bade fair at one
time to get beyond control of tho
oflicorp and of cooler heads, and to re
sult in the shedding, of much blood.
It is considered remarkable that it
was checked in its inciplcncy. As it
was, several men carry reminders of it
In the shape of slight bruises.
During the speec'i of Governor
Blease, J. W. Norwood, president of
the Norwood National Dank of thlB
city, asked him to explain "the Dr. Mc
Intosh Incident," referring te tho re
pudiation by Dr. Jas. H. Mclntosli, of
Columbia, of an affidavit which Bleuso
read at the Abbeville meeting purport
ing to have been made by Dr. Mcln
tosh and the late Dr. A. D. Knowlton.
The governor replied "When I talk
about a man it is in his home town.
When I get to Columbia, I expect to)
request Dr. Mclntosh to take a seat on,
the stand and to answer him like one
gentleman answers another; not as a
coward to his back like you.."
Applied Strong Epithet.
To thir Mr. Norwood replied: "You
are a dirty lying-" and
sprang at the governor. It took the
united effort:; of a dozen men to hold
the angry man from the chief execu
tive. Smalt of stature, but strong, he
pushed his way until at one time it
looked as if he would elude those who
were,holding, him and, would succeed
tn .r?schjng the -governor;x' However*,"
tte^a*itnatty^ah^
tO; the ground where a . free-for-all
fight ensued, In which many figured. .
Sheriff Ashley, of Anderson county,
was among thor.e present ,and a man
with a pistol started at him exclaim
ing that he was "going to shoot that
d-sheriff of Anderson county." He
wag grabbed by cooler' heads. Sherlc
Rector, of Greenville, received a "sting
ing blow on the forehead and in re
turn administered a stinging blow to
some one, badly bruising his hand in
so doing.
There was considerable indigna
tion felt towards Sheriff Rector but he
issued a statement this afternoon de
claring that he went to the. assistance
r.f Mr. Norwood, aa he thought the lat
ter was going to be killed.
It has been impossible to ascertain
the names of the participants in the
fighting which took place off the stand.
Bleafieiies Were Hooted.
Following Governor Bleaso's speech,
some 400 or 500 of his followers left
amid the hoots of those who remained
?some 3,000 in all. Messrs. Jennings
and Pollock followed with the bitter
est speeches they . have made during
the campaign and were wildly cheered
by the crowd, which had by this time
become wrought . up to the highest
pitch. Jennings made whit was said
to have been his greatest speech of
the campaign. He la r. friend of Mr.
Norwood and showed plainly that fie
was angry as he spoke; He made an
eloquent appeal to the crowd to wipe
Bloaseism and lawlessness, one. and
the same, forever from South Caro
lina. He said that no one man could
deter him from exposing the damnable
record of Governor Blease on every
oiamp in South Carolina, nor. could,
any dozens privent him from so do
ing.
W. P. Pollock waB greeted with loud
applause an? immediately launched
Into, the greateit speech he has made
in tho present campaign according **>
hearers who have heard them all.
He was mordiez in bjs .denuncia
tion of Blear e. After he had been
sneaking for a few minutes a heavy

fueled to leave, and refused to let the
speaker stop. They Stood In tho

the Monoghan mill hill, and that the
meeting at Greenville Saturday was j
the largest crowd he ever saw gather
ed at u campaign meeting.
Tho governor laughed at the Smith [
